GParted killed my mainboard after it failed to partition my IDE drive which sits as C: together with the SATA RAID0 E: (WINXP Boot) and Ubuntu assigned partitions (/root, /boot, /home and /swap)

Previously followed the guides Howto: which left out some VERY important details.
1) That this guide was designed for a single SATA RAID0 system
2) No instruction on how to open the editor to edit the menu.lst

Thus:
1) I failed to have GRUB load which instead automatically brought me to Windows XP
2) I ended up doing the entire process listed in the Howto from Step 1 again and again
3) GPart failed to repartition my IDE drive which stores some personal data. AND possibly destroyed it...
